There’s No Chapel In The World Like This One In Connecticut

A chapel is one of the most beloved and traditional places for couples to say “I do.” This little chapel in Connecticut is no exception to the rule. Even after 129 years, residents are still a fan of this place. But who can blame them? It’s full of history and charm, with a gorgeous exterior and a detailed wooden inside that makes for a breathtaking backdrop in photos. See for yourself!

Located on the shoreline in Branford, Pine Orchard Union Chapel is famous for its quaint New England Charm, reflective of its long history in the state.

But the little chapel that could refused to quit! Locals worked hard to keep the history alive, and the chapel still stands in all its original glory, with the exception of being painted white, for people to rent on special occasions.

Plans for the chapel's construction were approved on July 4, 1896 and construction was completed the following Independence Day. So there's no chapel more American than this one!

The details of the church itself, combined with the colonial and rustic charms of the surrounding neighborhood, make this chapel a must visit. As a building on the National Historic Register, history buffs will love it. But so will folks who just love admiring pretty buildings.
